[Verse]
(E)      B                  F#           C#m
A long December and there's reason to believe
      E                 B               E
Maybe this year will be better than the last
 C#m             E       B                   F#
   I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were
C#m
leavin'
        B             E~
Now the days go by so fast


[Pre-chorus]
         B               E         C#m
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         B              E          C#m
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       B                  E     C#m        \
If you think that I could be forgiven... I wish you would.


[Chorus]
B            E    C#m            E
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
B            E    C#m
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...


[Verse]
E              B            F#
  The smell of hospitals in winter
        C#m                E            B
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters
       E
but no pearls
C#m        E              B               F#
   All at once you look across a crowded room
           C#m               B           E
To see the way that light attaches to a girl


[Pre-chorus]
         B               E         C#m
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         B                 E       C#m
And it's one more night in Hollywood
       B               E           C#m         \
If you think you might come to California... I think you should


[Chorus]
B            E    C#m            E
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
B            E    C#m
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...


[Solo]
B   E   C#m   E
B   E   C#m


[Verse]
 E             B              F#              C#m
   Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two A.M.
    E               B               E    C#m
And talked a little while about the year
C#m             E                B              F#
   I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
           C#m            B               E
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not
show her
                E    B                    F#           C#m
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
      E                 B               E
Maybe this year will be better than the last
          E               B               F#
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
   C#m               B               E~
To hold on to these moments as they pass


[Pre-chorus]
         B               E         C#m
And it's one more day up in the canyons
         B              E          C#m
And it's one more night in Hollywood
     B                       E            C#m~
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should


[Chorus 4x]
B            E    C#m            E
   Na, na-na, na. Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na.
B            E    C#m
   Na, na-na, na. Yeah...
